Is this patch applied to parted?  I couldn't find parted repository.  If 
it's applied, a note to bug #4710 should be added that when the bug is 
fixed, parted should use only store_typed_open.  (This patch is a hack 
and if it's applied, it should be reverted when the real bug (in libc 
and hurd) is fixed.)
